From pictures I've seen, these birds are really interesting to me. I've never seen one, can they fly like herons?

Scarce, shy and elusive here in the UK too. Very rare to see a shot with the bird this big and clear in the frame. Great work Don!

Beautiful, lovely environmental camouflage for the bird, and perfect sun highlight on the bird's head and neck to make her the focus of the shot.

everything about this shot is perfect! The colours, the composition, you can see so many textures! Plus I have never seen a bird quite like that before, he has big feet!
